@ff524 Well, what drove the recent turmoil on the main Meta about the HNQ was not something related to votes, but something related to apparently disturbing titles. When I was 16 or 18, so more than 30 years ago, I read an article from Asimov alarming about the growth of creationism in the US. At the time, I thought he was kidding: after all, I had never heard about creationism outside of certain religious circles.
Some ten years forward, during my PhD, a former PhD mate of mine started working in a telecommunication company in the US. One day he called me and told me: "Hey, you won't believe it, but here virtually all the engineers are creationists!!". I read now the linked article with a word of caution, like you suggest, but I also fear that is too much real, like the Asimov's article.
